Biodynamics of copper oxide nanoparticles and copper ions in an oligochaete – Part I: Relative importance of water and sediment as exposure routes

“…All MOD was aerated for at least 24 h before use. Sediment was collected from an intertidal mudflat in South San Francisco Bay (one kilometer southeast of the discharge point of the Palo Alto Regional Water Quality Control Plant; Dyke et al, 2012), California, USA, in February 2012. The top few centimeters of the sediment surface was scrapped, transported to the USGS laboratories, where it was sieved (<63 m) using MOD, homogenized, allowed to settle overnight and then frozen at −20 • C after removing the overlying MOD.…”
